Franzen was hurt in a collision with Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpik. The Penguins defenseman was given a major penalty for kneeing Franzen and knocking him from the game during the first period of Wednesday night's preseason opener for both teams.

Franzen will be re-evaluated on Tuesday for what the team described as a charley horse. He tore a ligament in his left knee nearly a year ago and played in just 10 regular season games. He had 18 points in 12 postseason games.
